Vulnerable Road Users

As the leading supplier of automated transit solutions, the Dutch company 2getthere will contribute its’ knowledge, skills and experience to the SafeVRU research program. SafeVRU will develop sensing, intent recognition, and vehicle control strategies for the interaction of automated vehicles with vulnerable road users (VRU) such as pedestrians and cyclists.

Sjoerd van der Zwaan, Chief Technology Officer of 2getthere is proud to be part of the research team and explains that this specific program addresses some important safety issues that arise when shifting towards system deployments under mixed operations with other road users. “The outcome of this research will provide us with information on the sensing capabilities of next-generation, high-resolution radars suitable for vehicle applications. It is also interesting because it will offer us valuable insights in how to fuse radar and vision sensor information for robustly detecting, localizing and tracking pedestrians and cyclists.’

He continues: ‘Furthermore, the research will enhance our understanding of algorithms to model and recognize vulnerable road user behavior so that the system can anticipate and take intent into account, enabling ways to apply proper control strategies to execute anti-collision behavior as well as behavior to make intent clear to other road users as a form of human machine interface.’

The research program will be led by Prof. Riender Happee of the Faculty of Mechanical, Maritime and Materials Engineering of the Delft Technical University in co-operation with the University of Amsterdam (UvA). Other participants include TNO, SWOV, NXP, RDW and the province of Gelderland. The foreseen project period of SafeVRU is 4 years, from 2016 till 2020, and the innovations will enhance road safety and progressively introduce automation.
